Nat King Cole

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart

You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by


Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

Answer me, oh, my love
Just what sin have I been guilty of?
Tell me how I came to lose your love
Please answer me, sweetheart

You were mine yesterday
I believed that love was here to stay
Won't you tell me where I've gone astray?
Please answer me, my love

If you're happier without me
I'll try not to care
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer

You must know I've been true
Won't you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me, my love

instrumental interlude

(If you're happier without me)
(I'll try not to care)
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer

You must know (you must know)I've been true (I've been true)
Won't you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me, my love

Answer me, my love

The fall_ing leaves drift by the win_dow
The au_tumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips the sum_mer kiss_es
The sun_burned hands I used to hold

Since you went a_way the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old win_ters song
But I miss you most of all`my dar_ling
When au_tumn leaves start to fall@

Gee, it's great after bein' out late
Walkin' my baby back home
Arm in arm over meadow and farm
Walkin' my baby back home

We go 'long harmonizing a song
Or I'm recitin' a poem
Owls go by and they give me the eye
Walkin' my baby back home

We stop for a while, she gives me a smile
And snuggles her head on my chest
We start in to pet and that's when I get
Her talcum all over my vest

After I kinda straighten my tie
She has to borrow my comb
Once kiss then I continue again
Walkin' my baby back home

instrumental interlude

She's 'fraid of the dark so I have to park
Outside of her door till it's light
She says if I try to kiss her she'll cry
I dry her tears all through the night

Hand in hand to a barbecue stand
Right from her doorway we roam
Eats and then it's a pleasure again
Walkin' my baby
Talkin' my baby
Lovin' my baby
I don't mean maybe
Walkin' my baby back home

A cigarette that bears a lipsticks traces,
An airline ticket to romantic places,
And still my heart has wings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
A tinkling piano in the next apartment,
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant,
A fairgrounds painted swings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
You came, you saw,
You conquered me.
When you did that to me,
I knew somehow this had to be.
The winds of march that made my heart a dancer,
A telephone that rings,
And whos to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
The first daffodil and long excited cables,
And candle lights on little corner tables,
And still my heart has wings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
The park at evening when the bell has sounded,
The ile-de-france with all the gulls around it,
The beauty that is springs...
These foolish things remind me of you.
How strange, how sweet
To find you still,
These things are dear to me,
They seem to bring you near to me.
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations,
Silk stockings tossed aside, dance invitations.
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you...
These foolish things remind me of you.

There goes my heart, there goes the one I love
There goes the girl I wasn't worthy of
There goes my happiness, it couldn't be
There goes somebody else in place of me

Goodbye romance, it couldn't last somehow
I had my chance but it's all over now
I never thought that she could pass me by
There goes my heart and here am I

instrumental interlude

I never thought that she could pass me by
There goes my heart and here am I

That certain night, the night we met,
There was magic abroad in the air.
There were angels dining at the Ritz,
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

I may be right, I may be wrong,
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me,
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

The moon that lingered over Londontown
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown.
How could he know that we two were so in love?
The whole darn world seemed upside down.

The streets of town were paved with stars,
It was such a romantic affair.
And as we kissed and said goodnight,
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

~interlude~

When dawn came stealing up, all gold and blue
To interrupt our rendez-vous,
I still remember how you smiled and said,
"Was that a dream? Or was it true?"

Our homeward step was just as light
As the dancing of Fred Astaire,
And like an echo far away
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it
I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you

And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy

Sometimes you made me glad
But there were times
You made me feel so bad

You made me sigh for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you

I want some love
That's true, yes, I do
'Deed I do, you know I do

Give me, give me what I cry for
You know you got the brand of kisses
That I die for
You know you made me love you

Give me, give me what I cry for
You know you got the brand of kisses
That I die for
You know you made me love you

A blossom fell from off a tree
It settled softly on the lips you turned to me
The gypsies say and I know why
"A falling blossom only touches lips that lie"

A blossom fell and very soon
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied

instrumental interlude

The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied

More
Than the greatest love the world
Has known,

This
Is the love I'll give to you
Alone.

More
Than the simple words
I've tried to say,
I'll only live to love you
More each day.

More than you'll ever know,
My arms long to hold you so.
My life will be in your keepin',
Wakin'... sleepin'... laughin'...weepin'.

Longer
Than always is a long, long time,
But far beyond forever,
You'll be mine.
I know I've never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.

I know I've never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.

The sky may be starless,
The night may be moonless.
But deep in my heart,
I know that you love me,
You love me, because you told me so.

Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while we're apart.
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write.

I memorize every line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And darling, then I read again
Right from the start,
Love letters straight from your heart.

~interlude~

I memorize every line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And darling, then I read again
Right from the start,
Love letters straight from your heart.

You're my everything underneath the sun
You're my everything rolled up into one
You're my only dream, my only real reality
You're my idea of a perfect personality

You're my everything, everything I need
You're the song I sing and the book I read
You're a way beyond belief and just to make it brief
You're my winter, summer, spring, my everything

You're my everything (everything I need)
You're the song I sing and the book I read
You're a way beyond belief and just to make it brief
You're my winter, summer, spring, my everything

*Put your sweet lips
a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend
that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man
to turn the juke box way down low
And you can tell
your friend that with you
he will have to go

Whisper to me
tell me do you love me true
Or is he holding you
in the way I do
Though love is blind
make up your mind I've go to know
Should I hang up
or will you tell him he'll have to go

You can say the words
I want to hear
While you're with
another man
If you want me answer yes or no
darling I will understand

* Repeat

Stay as sweet as you are,
Don't let a thing
Ever change you.
Stay as sweet as you are,
Don't let a soul
Rearrange you.

Don't ever lose
The charm you possess,
Your loveliness, darling,
The way you say "yes".

Stay as sweet as you are
Discreet as you are,
You're divine, dear.
Stay as grand as you are,
And as you are,
Tell me that you're mine, dear.

Young and gay or old and gray,
Near to me or afar,
Night and day I pray
That you'll always stay
As sweet as you are.

(Interlude)

Young and gay or old and gray,
Near to me or afar,
Night and day I pray
That you'll always stay
As sweet as you are.

Each time I look at you is like the first time
Each time you're near me the thrill is new
And there is nothing that I wouldn't do for
The rare delight of the sight of you for

The more I see you, the more I want you
Somehow this feeling just grows and grows
With every sigh I become more mad about you
More lost without you and so it goes

Can you imagine how much I love you?
The more I see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try

instrumental interlude

I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try

The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper must be paid

The party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend

instrumental 'the party's over'
The party's over
instrumental 'it's time to call it a day'
It's time to call it a day
instrumental 'they've burst your pretty balloon and taken the moon
away'
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend

It's all over, my friend

I was walking along, minding my business
When out of an orange-colored sky
Flash! Bam! Alakazam!
Wonderful you came by

I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine
When out of that orange-colored view
Wham! Bam! Alakazam!
I got a look at you

One look and I yelled "Timber"
"Watch out for flying glass"
'Cause the ceiling fell and the bottom fell out
I went into a spin and I started to shout,
"I've been hit, This is it, This is it!"

I was walking along minding my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash! Bam! Alakazam!
Out of an orange-colored sky.

Was it in tahiti?
Were we on the nile?
Long, long ago,
Say an hour or so
I recall that i saw your smile.


I remember you,
You're the one who made
My dreams come true
A few kisses ago.


I remember you,
You're the one who said



"i love you, too," i do.
Didn't you know?


I remember, too,
A distant bell,
And stars that fell like rain
Out of the blue.


When my life is through,
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all,
Then i shall tell them
I remember you.

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart

I love you and you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part

I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling I'm never lonely whenever you are in sight.

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart,
High up in the sky, the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart.


You wandered down the lane and far away,
Leaving me a song that will not die.
Love is now the stardust of yesterday,
The music of the years gone by.


Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night dreaming of a song.
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you,
When our love was new,
And each kiss an inspiration...


But that was long ago.
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song.


Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright,
You are in my arms.
The nightingale tells his fairy tale,
A paradise where roses bloom.


Though I dream in vain,
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody,
The memory of love's refrain.

Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why you ramble, no one knows
Wild and wind-blown, that's how you've grown
Who can cling to a ramblin' rose?Ramble on, ramble on
When your ramblin' days are gone
Who will love you with a love true
When your ramblin' days are through?Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why I want you, heaven knows
Though I love you with a love true
Who can cling to a ramblin' rose?One more time, everybody, nowRamblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why I want you, heaven knows
Though I love you with a love true
Who can cling to a ramblin' rose?

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheerJust fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies
Then lock the house up, now youre set
And on the beach youll see the girls in their bikinis
As cute as ever but they never get em wetRoll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Youll wish that summer could always be hereRoll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheerDont hafta tell a girl and fella about a drive-in
Or some romantic moon it seems
Right from the moment that those lovers start arrivin
Youll see more kissin<wolf whistle>in the cars than
on the screenRoll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Youll wish that summer could always be hereYoull wish that summer could always be here
Youll wish that summer could always be here

When I fall in love It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun,
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.
When I give my heart It will be completely,
Or I'll never give my heart,
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love with you.

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
Men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause you're lonely
They have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smileDo you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there, and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heartI love you and you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never partI think of you every morning

Darling, I'm never lonely
Whenever you are in sightI love you for sentimental reasons

I've given you my heart

They try to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know the meaning of

And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too -

Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you'll find happiness without an end
Whenever you pretend
Remember anyone can dream
And nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got
Could be a lot if you pretend
You'll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes, she'll be there
You'll never be a lone
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?

And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?

Je ne sais pas what to do

Blue gardenia
Now I'm alone with you
And I am, oh, so blue
She has tossed us aside

And like you, gardenia
Once I was near her heart
After the teardrops start
Where are teardrops to hide?

I lived for an hour
What more can I tell
Love bloomed like a flower
Then the petals fell

Blue gardenia
Thrown to a passing breeze
But rest in my book
Of memories

I lived for an hour
What more can I tell
Love bloomed like a flower
Then the petals fell

Blue gardenia
Thrown to a passing breeze
But rest in my book
Of memories

TENDERLY

The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
<instrumental interlude>
That's the time you must keep on trying

Sometimes I'm blue
My disposition
Depends on you
I never mind
The rain from the sky
If I can find
The sun in your eyes

It's 'cause I love you
That's how I am
So what can I do
I'm happy when I'm with you

Said it is only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
Say it is only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
Without your love,
It's a honky-tonk parade.
Without your love,
It's a melody played in a penny arcade.It's a barnum and bailey world,
Just as phony as it can be,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.

Just found joy
Im as happy as a baby boy, baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo choy
When I met my sweet lorraine, lorraine, lorraine.
A pair of eyes
That are brighter tham the summer sky
When you see them, youll realize
Why I love my sweet lorraine.
Now when its rainin,
I dont miss the sun
Because its in my babys smile, whoa ho
And to think that Im the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho
Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I cant wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet lorraine.

Around the world, I've searched for you
I traveled on when hope was gone
To keep a rendezvous

I Knew somewhere, sometime, somehow
You'd look at me And I would see
the smile you're smiling now

It might have been in County Down
Or in New York In Gay Paree
or even London Town

No more will I go all around the world
For I have found my world in you

Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word

But can't begin to know the meaning of

This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

Besame besame mucho
Each time I cling to your kiss I hear music divine
Besame mucho
Hold me my darling and say that you'll always be mine

This joy is something new my arms enfolding you,
never knew this thrill before
Whoever thought I'd be holding you close to me
whispering you I adore

Dearest one if you should leave me
Each little dream would take wing
and my life would be through

Besame mucho
Love me forever and make all my dreams come true
Besame mucho Besame mucho

You're the cream in my coffee
You're the salt in my stew
You'll always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

You're the starch in my collar
You're the lace in my shoe
You'll always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

Most men tell love tales
And each phrase dovetails
You've heard each known way
This way is my own way

You're the sail of my love boat
You're the captain and crew
You'll always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

You're the sail of my love boat
You're the captain and crew
You'll always be my necessity
Like a restaurant with a recipe
You're the lace in my shoe
I'd be lost without you

Just found joy
Im as happy as a baby boy, baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo choy
When I met my sweet lorraine, lorraine, lorraine.
A pair of eyes
That are brighter tham the summer sky
When you see them, youll realize
Why I love my sweet lorraine.
Now when its rainin,
I dont miss the sun
Because its in my babys smile, whoa ho
And to think that Im the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho
Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I cant wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet lorraine.

This will make you laugh,
I staked my dreams on you.
This will make you laugh,
They never did come true.I took a chance on the one romance,
I vowed it couldn't miss.
But I should have known to never judge,
A heart borrowed kiss.This will make you laugh,
I once believed in you.
And for all my love,
You didn't see it through.Of all the fools, I break the rule.
I love you still you see,
This will make you laugh,
But it's not funny to me.(last verse ed)

The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly

(louis jordan, timmie rodgers)
Knock me a kiss, you'll never miss
When i'm ready to go.
But if you can't smile and say yes,
Please don't cry and say no!
Squeeze me a squoze in these fine clothes,
Mmmm...i love you so.
But if you can't smile and say yes,
Please don't cry and say no!
When i ask for a date, the answer is no.
You don't know what you're saying.
Don't you know the war's on,Everything is rationed,
How 'bout that jive, keep me alive?
Baby, let bygones be bygones,
'cause men are scarce as nylons.
And if you can't smile and say yes,
Please don't cry and say no!
~interlude~
Baby, let bygones be bygones,

And if you can't smile and say yes,
Please don't cry and say no, no, no, baby
Please don't cry and say no.

Embrace me my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me you irreplaceable you
Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone
Bring out the Gypsy in me
I love all the many charms about you
Above all I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to papa come to papa do
My sweet embraceable you

Don't be a naughty baby
Come to papa come to papa do
My sweet embraceable you

Said it is only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
Say it is only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
Without your love,
It's a honky-tonk parade.
Without your love,
It's a melody played in a penny arcade.It's a barnum and bailey world,
Just as phony as it can be,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.

Maybe i talk too much,
Maybe i've lost m' touch.
I guess i don't know what's cookin'
'cause i just can't see for lookin'.
Other boys have their chicks,
Two, three, four, five or six.
I don't seem to get a bookin'
'cause i just can't see for lookin'.
I'm kinda crazy,
Like a daisy
Up that well known tree, poor me.
I'm sittin', hopin',
Horoscopin'
Won't some sista take a chance with me?I've been around the town,
Everyone brings me down.
I give up hope, i'm just a dope.
There ain't no gals for in',
I just can't see for lookin'.
